One of three factory painted dark orange cars. The car has been restored to original specifications and was awarded the 2008 Shelby American Automobile Club Gold Award. It was awarded the 2009 Team Shelby Diamond Award and the 2010 Mustang Club of America Gold Award.
The car is internationally recognized as one of the finest examples of a restored 1968 Shelby and was one of the first cars to win the Concours Triple Crown.
The first Shelby GT500KRs were built in April of 1968. A short time later, a small group of brightly colored cars were built. According to an internal FORD memo only 15 of these special paint cars would be built. The cars were not regular production colors. One of these, a bright orange car, ended up at Schmidt Ford in Baltimore, Maryland. The following page details the history of one of the most unique 1968 Shelbys built. It also explains how this one car unraveled the special paint story and how the website was born.
Technically, the color has no name. It is referred to only as WT 5185. Ford only sent three cars in this shade to Shelby. They were part of Ford's summer sales promotion. How 15 of these cars ended up being sent to AO Smith is still a mystery. In 1991, shortly after purchasing the car, I did some research on the color code. After numerous calls and letters it became clear there was little information available. I became the self appointed special paint expert. The color is actually the same as Poppy Red. That color would later be called Calypso Coral and Competition Orange. In 1968, the color was a special order color.
On December 18, 1969, the cars first owner, Larry Stafford, strolled into Schmidt Ford and made a deal for the bright orange car. Larry negotiated a price of $3750. No doubt, the dealership was anxious to get rid of the 1968 car. 1970 models were already on the showroom floor. Larry accepted delivery on January 5, 1970.
In 1986, after 16 years, Larry decided it was time to sell the car. A young Captain in the Army spotted the car and quickly snapped it up. Pat Carroll was also stationed in Germany. Pat told me the full blown race engine had little problem going 140mph and pulling 7000 rpm. Pat would own the car for two years.
The third owner, William Shockley purchased the car after seeing it advertised in the Bamburg Post Exchange. The princely sum of $12, 000 was handed over for the car. In 1988, that was a good price even for a 427 race car. About this time Shelbys in the states were reaching all time high prices. Shortly after buying the car, Shockley returned it to the US.
The fourth owner, Tom Daniels, lived in Texas. Tom already owned one kick ass 1967 Shelby and was ready to unload the strangely colored beast at the Shelby Club's 16th annual convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. Tom drove the car to and from the show from his hotel.
I purchased the car in 1991 and this first time in nearly 25 years a special dark orange car has been for sale. I will answer all questions and entertain offers.
A car like this would be an instant success story at one of the high end autions. It could be a marquee car for your dealership.
